Support_links for projections [DATAREST-809]

Johannes Schmidt opened DATAREST-809 and commented

Projection is a great feature to provide custom views von resources and to reduce REST calls to resolve depended resources. In our project, we heavily use projections to optimize our user interface performance.

Today, if a resource has links to other resources, these resources can be resolved directly using a projection. BUT, the links of that embedded resources are not rendered. Oliver Gierke already described a solution at https://gist.github.com/olivergierke/bd204f35c98b5e2b8d5e#file-after-json. This is exactly the behaviour we need.

That topic was already addressed by issue DATAREST-464, but it is still not resolved.

Summary: Is it possible to render the links of an embedded resource in a projection directly in the definition scope of that embedded resource?
